Sharing with you one of our favourite one-pot recipes – Brown Rice with Pork and Veggie by Jen Jen (@limjenjen), we hope you choose home-cooked food over takeaways!

- 2 Chinese sausage, casing removed, sliced
- 8 brown button mushroom, cut into quarters

Method:

2. Add brown rice to combine, stir fry and add broth/water. Stir to mix well.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients (sausage, mushroom, carrot, corn, bean) to combine. Ensure the water level is just sufficient to cover all ingredients. Bring to boil in high heat. You may taste the broth at this stage. Adjust the taste with light soy sauce, salt, pepper, and sesame oil.
